Does BIF_RETURNONLYFSDIRS do what you want or does that turn off the shard folders?

HUH? The "FS" in the constant is for "file system," so I figured if anything it would exclude the NETWORK shares, but not the LOCAL stuff. That's just plain crazy. I just tried the code on http://vbnet.mvps.org/code/browse/browsefolders.htm and the dialog showed all my local drives plus the one mapped drive I have. HOWEVER, it also included the network tree, and so now I'm starting to think that what you want just isn't possible without writing your own dialog.

Thanks jeff, yes, you could be right. But that's the problem: I don't know how to write my own dialog Catharius van der Werf
